21/1/13 - 15/4/13 3 Month Fat Loss Log 25%bf to 14%bf
Hey, so im starting a 3 month fat loss log Im Male, 20, 5.6ft, 150lbs with a BodyFat of 25-26%
I plan to drop around 2lbs a week by counting calories and weight training.
I have dieted before and found it best when i stick to "the same type of food" So this will mostly include, oats, brown pasta,broccoli, chicken, tuna, fish and any thing i wish along as it hits my daily calories after hitting protein & fat macros
My personnel preference is to drop from 25%bf to 14% by April 2013 (3 Months) And clean bulk after that
Any tips and advice would be great
Thanks!
Start Picture at 150lbs Would you agree that im at 25-26%bf ?
So its day 1(21/1/13) of my 3 month cut, i made this thread on the 18th.. 3 days ago when i weighed in at 150. I just weighed my self today and im not at 143.8lbs which is a loss of 6.2, im guessing most of that will be water weight, but i know my calories are on the right track
Personal preference really! Past few years ive been spinning my cogs and going out of my mind.. one week i want to be slim, one week i want good muscle size. But i know to bulk, im going to put fat on, minimum fat gain i know with a clean bulk but still i think that is enough to make me want to be slim again.. haha
But my goal is to get down to a bodyfat which im happy to stand at with my top of (holiday in june with girlfriend) And from that, i can start clean bulking while maintaining a low BF and not spiralling out of control at 20%bf or more
Hormone imbalance caused ****ty gyno, Also pretty bad fat storage. Have a blood test in a week as doc thinks there is something pretty wrong also for a guy my age.
Great stuff mate, will give you an add and can see how where both getting on!
Im currently at 1600 calories a day, feeling strong with it! dropping around 2lbs a week! What about you mate ?
Keeping it at around 1500 a day, sometimes less. If I get really hungry sometimes I will eat at maintenance (2100) and do 60 min cardio(~630 cal) to maintain the deficit.

sounds good mate! keep adding progress photos to your bodyspace! Will keep checking!
i dont ever cheat with iifym, i just fit it into my deficit calories or/and add more cardio
What sorts of food do you find the most filling? Following IIFYM too, but I always get hungry eating 1500 cals and have to do cardio to keep the deficit.

Im a big fan of chicken breasts with seasoning! and them seems to satisfy me for longer, i dont eat until 12 _dinner_ (dont get hungry in the morning)
Also frozen yogurt seems to keep me fuller for longer to!
If your starting date and weight were correct it looks like 13lbs in about 5 weeks. Thats some great results weight wise. Keep up the good work. Are you incorporating any weight training into your program? You wanna make sure that you're losing mostly fat otherwise your body fat % will suffer and just be skinny fat and not lose that lower belly fat! I don't see any macro numbers have you calculated those and tracking them not just total calories?
